Abstract
Granular Al films have been measured in a microwave cavity at 9.4 GHz together with their dc resistance, R (T). The change in resonant frequency is proportional to the number of superconducting electron pairs which is finite above the temperature T c P, where R (T) Col O. Microwave loss has been identified which appears to be specific to granular materials and vanishes only well below T c p. This is shown to be due to normal conduction between grains, which upon cooling becomes progressively more Josephson-like.
